Los Angeles Guitar Quartet

It is tradition for the LAGQ to give a concert in Nuertingen, this has been and still is one of the major events of the festival.
For more than 30 years, the members of the LAGQ have again and again set new standards in terms of expression and virtuosity. They are constantly redefining themselves and never hesitate to tread unusual musical paths.
Through their synthesis of "world-music", contemporary and classical styles they have established the very specific LAGQ sound. With more than a dozen records over the past two decades, they have proven themselves to be the reference in the field of guitar chamber music.
Their first recording for Telarc International, "LAGQ: Latin", was nominated for a Grammy in 2003 in the category of "best classical crossover recording"; their sound recording, "Guitar Heroes", actually won a Grammy in this category in 2005.
